Another point about the pumpkin carving contest. It got huge because chi expanded it past the collectibles page and involved other bitcointalk pages. Not sure if you wanted it to just be our collectables family or if you wanted it to be huge. If so share link with other bitcointalk pages or reach out to chi for how he did it.. the wheels are turning for my submission.. good luck everyone
Will do. I've reached out to chibitcty about this. Yea good point by Dane, I think Theymos was also involved in getting the Pumpkin contest onto the News banner on the home page. I will be certainly be entering this one, thank you smoothie for hosting this, great idea, I think it will be just as big as the Pumpkin carving contest! ↓ - yes got that invite - thank you smoothie. |

Big win for the Canada team!!! They achieved a good result and actually it was quite possible as a prediction... I played a couple of live bets on Felix Auger-Aliassime because the difference between him and De Minaur was pretty clear. Too bad for de Minaur, his performances are not those of a player of his skill  De Minaur is indeed a talented player, he is still young at 23 and is ranked 24. Is he a top 10 player? there is a lot of quality players he needs to leap frog, from where he is there is a very talented top 20 players like Tiafoe, Berrettini, Sinner, Norrie and Rune before getting into the top 10. |

I think the OP's question will be asked many times in the future especially when Bitcoins
value rises.
The thinking is "it's better to own 1 thing than a fraction of another, it's a psychological
thing but it doesn't make sense.
Anyone who has been in this space will know that altcoins come and go and many people
have gotten burned by them. Take almost all of the "Top 10" altcoins on coinmarketcap,
in about 12 months they will be replaced by new "flavours of the month" it's all speculation.
1 carat diamond or a 20kg bag of coal?

A total domination in the davis cup for canada team against australia, both shapovalov and alliasime managed to beat their opponents kokinakis and de minaur with the same score 2 0 and they have beaten them in the doubles as well the canadians deserved the win they both are on a different level than their opponents.
Yes the Canadians were solid in the final today, I thought Shapovalov might have been the weak link today but he performed well to get the win. Felix AA has had a super run at the end of the season, definitely a player to watch next year, he has definitely improved over the course of 2022. I didn't make a bet on today's final, I was half looking at Australia purely on the better odds but it was hard to ignore Canada. |

Before this thread I wouldn't have thought of Bingo as gambling, but of course it is a form
although I would say that most elderly people treat it as a social gathering and an activity.
It actually makes sense that when it was first invested it was a form of "Lottery", the players
are picking numbers which are randomly drawn.

^ My two point spreads yielded a 50% return: Stormers beat Scarlets 36 to 19, so that bet paid out but Ulster only had a winning margin of 16 over Zebre. I also had a bet on Munster to beat Connacht, Munster had a strong starting team out while Connacht had a weakened one. And the final 2 games of the Autumn Internationals were played yesterday, the first: Wales v Australia was an epic encounter. Before the game I took Australia at +3.5 figuring they have been within a point or two in their previous games but boy were they value for money to come back from.... the Wallabies' incredible 39-34 comeback win over Wales from 21 points down with 23 minutes remaining on Saturday night. https://www.rugby.com.au/news/wallabies-wales-mark-nawaqanitawase-offers-wallabies-xfactor-20221127The second game between England v South Africa was a frustrating one for England losing 13 - 27. |

Yes, unfortunately it was a doubles decider.
Shapovalov was beaten in his singles match by Sonego and Felix AA beat Musetti to
take it to the decider. I believe Shapo was replaced with Felix and that was a good call.
I believe if Shapo was not replaced Italy would have a better chance.
Final today, Canada v Australia.
Hmm I'm not sure which way to go with this....Maybe Australia? Canada are favourites.

Ah it's easy to be brave with bets less than $5!
I'm normally reluctant to bet against the favourite but I saw Australia at least on par
with Croatia and the same for Italy.
^
It was the impromptu doubles pairing of Thompson and Purcell who beat the formidable
Mektic and Pavic which was the stand out match.
I would say for today I Italy don't win the first 2 matches and it goes to the doubles
decider Canada would be stronger. Anyway my bet is on Italy.

Currently the Davis Cup tournament is taking place with Croatia in the semi-finals after beating Spain and will face Australia who beat the Netherlands, the other quarterfinal matches Italy vs USA and Germany vs Canada are still awaiting results. It looks like the focus right now is on the World Cup.
Damn, I totally overlooked the Davis Cup, can't believe herself hasn't been on top of it either, even for the replays. It's semi finals already today: Australia v Croatia - favourites are Croatia and tomorrow: Italy v Canada - Canada being favourites Funny, I would pick Australia and Italy and favourites without knowing the odds, actually I'm going to take a punt on both to win against the odds. Australia @ 3.15 Italy @ 3.00 |

I have gone for a couple of point spreads for the two games tonight, it's not something
I have done in the past but the two home teams, Stormers and Ulster are big favourites with
very low odds, the only question is by how many points will they win?
Stormers -11.5 @ 1.63
Ulster -26.5 @ 1.72
Other tournaments on the Rugby Union side are back up and running too, The English
Premiership and the French Top14. I'm following them currently though.

They just know that it's better to skip it than to force themselves to spend on an occasion that can still be celebrated even without lots of food on the table. Well, they can still buy some normal food and be thankful for everything anyway and keep their spending at the minimum while still being able to celebrate thanksgiving. Everything costs too much right now that it's understandable if a lot of people won't follow traditions. It's not required or anything after all.
I guess Thanksgiving like Christmas here it can be both an expensive and pressurising time. The pressure of keeping up a tradition and the expense of buying into that tradition. These celebrations have become highly commercialised and they can be kept as simple as you want .... or as complicated as you make them. |

I am 100% percent sure that inflation will drop way down under 3%. Just not sure when.  I think it generally takes something like 18 months for the effects of raising interest rates to take full effect in the goal of reducing inflation. It's the boom to bust tactics which works for increasing and reducing inflation. Central banks are raising interest rates in various increments, when the they cripple a lot of people and recession takes hold and inflation drops they will start reducing interest rates to stimulate growth and the cycle starts again. So no central banks will not fail. |

I don’t know what he’s trying to achieve
Wright has a couple of wealthy people who are funding him. Their understanding of Bitcoin is extremely limited and mostly comes via Wright. They believe these lawsuits have a chance of success, they're paying wright millions of UKP a year and covering his costs because they hope to get a windfall at the end. So Wright just needs to keep the show going and he'll get paid as long as he does. Don't underestimate the power of conmen. Can't wait for the day when they cop on to all this nonsense, maybe when the house of cards really starts to fall will they realise their errors in backing CSW's very thin claims centering around being Satoshi. It's just a matter of time. Seems like he’s seeing some of his funding start to dry up and is now throwing Hail Mary lawsuits at people hoping to be able to get something. His claim is utterly ridiculous and I think it won’t go anywhere but you never know when it comes to the legal system. I’ve seen dumber things be allowed to progress as lawsuits. Hopefully this one is over quickly. Yes but it's up to the Kraken team to make sure the "legal system" are educated. Look at the Hodlonaut trial, his team did a great job of discrediting CSW's arguments. |

and speaking of injuries, this could also be a factor in Djokovic' performance and
journey in 2023. An injury could prove a massive enemy to him.
We could see good progress for Thiem in 2023, he still has a lot to offer and yea Zverev
will be only starting his journey back from a big a sense.
More young players are in the competence. So, we can't have something strong to determine a particular person to be the lead throughout the year. Same as what we experienced this year, we can see more unexpected progress from players. This makes the matches scheduled during the year 2023 more interesting. As mentioned, injuries were a big enemy when it comes to sportsman. Maybe he could compete with rest between series, participating only on the popular ones. Don't forget, 2022 was seriously messed up in terms of Djokovic' season which was caused by his COVID-19 vaccine beliefs. With bans being removed for 2023 the season should return to being "normal". He is the only remaining "Top 3" player able to compete over all the grand slams so I am banking on him overtaking Nadal's record and over a 5 set match there are very few who will be able to compete with him. ^

I'm hoping for Thiem to have a good year this 2022, unfortunately he hasn't been coming back, not sure if the level of tennis and gotten up, or if he is not yet ready for the big crowd mentally. As for Zverev, yeah he has Covid, but who doesn't in the last 2 years? we have recovered already so I doubt that he won't get back to his form next month. But for me Djokovic will come back strong next year, for sure he has this in his mind because of some drama in him specially around the Australian Open tournament. But next year, he is clear to go so I expect him to bounce back hard. I think there is definitely room for Thiem to be a threat to most players, after all he did play at the same time as the "Top 3" but he needs to get back to his best in 2023. |

It's cool to display the items. According to articles I've read about coin display, several parameters must be considered into account: 1. Security: locked lockers, armored glass, Using jumbo screws to hang frames/shelves or cabinets. In favor of docking., etc. 2. Lighting - direct light may damage the quality of the coin/banknote. Natural lighting causes increased humidity which can cause a process of "excessive sweating" in the capsule that keeps the item—especially items with holograms. So, in conclusion, there are items that are indeed nice to see daily or to show off to close friends. Still, the delicate items that require increased security or certain conditions are worth putting in a shady, locked place. And it is definitely worth using moisture-absorbing devices in these places for optimal and long-term preservation of your unique items. I hope this helped someone  QB Yes for printed material like books, magazines, notes and prints direct UV light and possibly indirect light will fade and discolour the material. I store all my printed items in acid free Black paper and card which in turn gets put into an airtight grip sealed bag and stored ot out direct sunlight. |

Rugby UnionURCSo after the Autumn Internationals the United Rugby Championship starts back up again, this weekend is round 8 with the games listed below: I'm gonna make a few bets, only made 1 choice already, I'm going against my home team with Munster to win, they will have a full strength team and Connacht look like losing Mack Hansen to an injury, that's a big loss for Connacht, he has done so well so far with club and country.
